Let us do the climbing and lifting
Clearing a loft is awkward, dusty and potentially dangerous work. It means narrow hatches, steep ladders, loose boards and heavy boxes carried down several flights of stairs.
Our loft clearout service takes the strain off you. We'll carefully bring down everything that needs to go, sort what's being kept, reused or recycled, and carry it through your home with care.
Whether it's a few boxes or a loft packed to the rafters, we'll do the job safely and efficiently.

Protecting your home: careful from the loft hatch to the front door
A loft clearance means carrying items through the whole house, so we take care to protect your home along the way. We work carefully on landings and stairs, and we can use dust sheets and floor protection where needed. We clean up as we go.
Once the loft is clear, we'll sweep and vacuum the loft and the areas we've worked in, so there's no dust trail left behind.
What we clear: typical loft contents
Boxes, packing and general clutter
Suitcases and travel bags
Christmas decorations
Old toys, prams and baby equipment

If you're not sure whether we can remove something, just ask when you request your quote.
Loft treasures: items with value
Lofts are often where family heirlooms, collectables and forgotten antiques end up. Where we find vintage toys, records, artwork, antiques, collectables or quality furniture with resale value, we may buy them or offset their value against your clearance cost.
We're always open about valuations. We'll also set aside photographs, documents and personal items, so nothing important is thrown away by mistake.
Getting ready for building work: clearing the loft for conversions, insulation and roofing
Many customers book a loft clearance before:
A loft conversion
Fitting new loft insulation or boarding
Roof repairs or re-roofing
Solar panel or energy-efficiency surveys
Damp, pest or structural inspections
Selling or letting the property
We can work around your builder's or installer's schedule, so the space is clear when they need it.
Safety and wildlife: working safely in roof spaces
Lofts can contain loose boarding, exposed joists, old insulation and limited lighting. Our team works carefully and uses suitable equipment for safe access.
If we find anything that needs specialist attention, such as suspected asbestos, a wasp nest or signs of bats, we'll stop and advise on the next steps. Bats and their roosts are protected by law, so they must not be disturbed.
Recycling and responsible disposal: keeping your loft clear-out out of landfill
Around 80% of the contents we remove are reused or recycled. Items in good condition can find new homes, including through charities we support such as Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.
As licensed waste carriers, we dispose of everything else lawfully and responsibly.
